"Is that so?" Medwin looked down at me, but I refused to meet his eyes. I slowly detached myself and stumbled further away. "I see how it goes."
There were some brief moments of silence and then suddenly he grabbed his coat and pushed past Alec, walking out of my room, his steps heavy and and hard.
"Medwin, wait." I called, following him down the stairs. He was already downstairs, going for the door. I cursed beneath my teeth as I slipped on the third-to-last step, hitting my leg in the process. He turned around momentarily when he heard me cry out and stared at me. Reluctantly, he pulled me up and turned to leave.
"I said, wait." I told him, grasping his wrist. I still couldn't bear to look at him, but I knew I had to. I owed him that much.
